public class InetAddress extends Object implements Serializable
This class represents an Internet Protocol (IP) address.An IP address is either a 32-bit or 128-bit unsigned number used by IP, a lower-level protocol on which protocols like UDP and TCP are built. The IP address architecture is defined by RFC 790: Assigned Numbers, RFC 1918: Address Allocation for Private Internets, RFC 2365: Administratively Scoped IP Multicast, and RFC 2373: IP Version 6 Addressing Architecture. An instance of an InetAddress consists of an IP address and possibly its corresponding host name (depending on whether it is constructed with a host name or whether it has already done reverse host name resolution).
Address types
unicast An identifier for a single interface. A packet sent to a unicast address is delivered to the interface identified by that address. The Unspecified Address -- Also called anylocal or wildcard address. It must never be assigned to any node. It indicates the absence of an address. One example of its use is as the target of bind, which allows a server to accept a client connection on any interface, in case the server host has multiple interfaces.
The unspecified address must not be used as the destination address of an IP packet.
The Loopback Addresses -- This is the address assigned to the loopback interface. Anything sent to this IP address loops around and becomes IP input on the local host. This address is often used when testing a client.
multicast An identifier for a set of interfaces (typically belonging to different nodes). A packet sent to a multicast address is delivered to all interfaces identified by that address. IP address scope
Link-local addresses are designed to be used for addressing on a single link for purposes such as auto-address configuration, neighbor discovery, or when no routers are present.
Site-local addresses are designed to be used for addressing inside of a site without the need for a global prefix.
Global addresses are unique across the internet.
Textual representation of IP addresses
The textual representation of an IP address is address family specific.For IPv4 address format, please refer to Inet4Address#format; For IPv6 address format, please refer to Inet6Address#format.
There is a couple of System Properties affecting how IPv4 and IPv6 addresses are used.
Host Name Resolution
Host name-to-IP address resolution is accomplished through the use of a combination of local machine configuration information and network naming services such as the Domain Name System (DNS) and Network Information Service(NIS). The particular naming services(s) being used is by default the local machine configured one. For any host name, its corresponding IP address is returned.Reverse name resolution means that for any IP address, the host associated with the IP address is returned.
The InetAddress class provides methods to resolve host names to their IP addresses and vice versa.
InetAddress Caching
The InetAddress class has a cache to store successful as well as unsuccessful host name resolutions.By default, when a security manager is installed, in order to protect against DNS spoofing attacks, the result of positive host name resolutions are cached forever. When a security manager is not installed, the default behavior is to cache entries for a finite (implementation dependent) period of time. The result of unsuccessful host name resolution is cached for a very short period of time (10 seconds) to improve performance.
If the default behavior is not desired, then a Java security property can be set to a different Time-to-live (TTL) value for positive caching. Likewise, a system admin can configure a different negative caching TTL value when needed.
Two Java security properties control the TTL values used for positive and negative host name resolution caching:
- networkaddress.cache.ttl
- Indicates the caching policy for successful name lookups from
the name service. The value is specified as as integer to indicate
the number of seconds to cache the successful lookup. The default
setting is to cache for an implementation specific period of time.
A value of -1 indicates "cache forever".
- networkaddress.cache.negative.ttl (default: 10)
- Indicates the caching policy for un-successful name lookups
from the name service. The value is specified as as integer to
indicate the number of seconds to cache the failure for
un-successful lookups.
A value of 0 indicates "never cache". A value of -1 indicates "cache forever".

isReachable
public boolean isReachable(int timeout) throws IOException
Test whether that address is reachable. Best effort is made by the implementation to try to reach the host, but firewalls and server configuration may block requests resulting in a unreachable status while some specific ports may be accessible. A typical implementation will use ICMP ECHO REQUESTs if the privilege can be obtained, otherwise it will try to establish a TCP connection on port 7 (Echo) of the destination host.The timeout value, in milliseconds, indicates the maximum amount of time the try should take. If the operation times out before getting an answer, the host is deemed unreachable. A negative value will result in an IllegalArgumentException being thrown.
- Parameters:
timeout
- the time, in milliseconds, before the call aborts- Returns:
- a
boolean
indicating if the address is reachable. - Throws:
IOException
- if a network error occursIllegalArgumentException
- iftimeout
is negative.- Since:
- 1.5

isReachable
public boolean isReachable(NetworkInterface netif, int ttl, int timeout) throws IOException
Test whether that address is reachable. Best effort is made by the implementation to try to reach the host, but firewalls and server configuration may block requests resulting in a unreachable status while some specific ports may be accessible. A typical implementation will use ICMP ECHO REQUESTs if the privilege can be obtained, otherwise it will try to establish a TCP connection on port 7 (Echo) of the destination host.The
network interface
andttl
parameters let the caller specify which network interface the test will go through and the maximum number of hops the packets should go through. A negative value for thettl
will result in an IllegalArgumentException being thrown.The timeout value, in milliseconds, indicates the maximum amount of time the try should take. If the operation times out before getting an answer, the host is deemed unreachable. A negative value will result in an IllegalArgumentException being thrown.
- Parameters:
netif

getHostName
public String getHostName()
Gets the host name for this IP address.If this InetAddress was created with a host name, this host name will be remembered and returned; otherwise, a reverse name lookup will be performed and the result will be returned based on the system configured name lookup service. If a lookup of the name service is required, call
getCanonicalHostName
.If there is a security manager, its
checkConnect
method is first called with the hostname and-1
as its arguments to see if the operation is allowed. If the operation is not allowed, it will return the textual representation of the IP address.- Returns:
- the host name for this IP address, or if the operation is not allowed by the security check, the textual representation of the IP address.
- See Also:
getCanonicalHostName()
,SecurityManager.checkConnect(java.lang.String, int)

checkConnect
method with the hostname and-1
as its arguments to see if the calling code is allowed to know the hostname for this IP address, i.e., to connect to the host. If the operation is not allowed, it will return the textual representation of the IP address.- Returns:
- the fully qualified domain name for this IP address, or if the operation is not allowed by the security check, the textual representation of the IP address.
- Since:
- 1.4
- See Also:
SecurityManager.checkConnect(java.lang.String, int)

. The string returned is of the form: hostname / literal IP address. If the host name is unresolved, no reverse name service lookup is performed. The hostname part will be represented by an empty string.
-
getByAddress
public static InetAddress getByAddress(String host, byte[] addr) throws UnknownHostException
Creates an InetAddress based on the provided host name and IP address. No name service is checked for the validity of the address.The host name can either be a machine name, such as "
java.sun.com
", or a textual representation of its IP address.No validity checking is done on the host name either.
If addr specifies an IPv4 address an instance of Inet4Address will be returned; otherwise, an instance of Inet6Address will be returned.
IPv4 address byte array must be 4 bytes long and IPv6 byte array must be 16 bytes long
- Parameters:
